I want to close the gap up between my body and tires. If i use control arms in front will they give me a 2 in actual drop. If i want another inch what spring should i use to get actual 1 in drop.
In rear i wont to go 4 or 5 inches, if i use a drop leaf spring will it give a real 2 in drop. Whart shackles should i get to get another 2 inches. I know you caint believe the ads. Need your help. I have a 5 in gap on front and a 7.5 in gap on rear, from top of tire to fender on my 03 Lightning

In the rear, you can use a shackle and hanger setup to achieve about 4 inches of drop total. Im not 100% sure about the front, but I believe belltech has a 1" drop spring. So does FRPP.

 

Im not sure how much higher your '03 was than my 2000, but my sig pic shows a 3/4 drop. Coils up front, shackles and hangers in the back. Its all Western Chasis stuff, except the shocks.

I *believe* the WC a-arm kit gives you 3" of actual drop..but TampaBlack99 would know better, seeing as he has them

 

in the front you will deffinately want to go with a control arm/ spring setup to maintain a good camber. look in Truckins magazine or Streettruck magazines , they have alot vendors who have lowering kits for our trucks.
